| Minnesota state legislators considering a same-sex marriage bill for the state did not have an answer to an 11-year-old girl’s question on which parent is not needed. “Since every child needs a mom and a dad to be born, I don’t think we can change that children need a mom and a dad. I believe God made it that way,” Grace Evans, 11, said before the Minnesota House Committee on Civil Law last week. “I know some disagree, but I want to ask you this question: Which parent do I not need – my mom or my dad?”

Grace, you are a shining star. And IMO, the people who say such nasty things about you will be dealt with...either here on earth or in their next life. Many of us out here are simmering towards boiling...it´s gonna hit the fan sooner than later I´m afraid. The savages among us will pay for their obnoxious behavior in spades.

Ya´ know we´ve crossed over into the Twilight Zone when a sharp 11 year old has more smarts than the city of Washington, DC...
...which has been - for several decades now - paying young women *not* to have a father in the house.
So see, Grace? You´re just asking the wrong branch of government - you need to speak with the Feds to find out which sex parent is ´optional´. Unfortunately - don´t expect the answer to be, ´...the second same-sex parent is optional.... It´s only ´optional´ with the Feds if it´s ´normal and healthy´.

This question should be put to our legislators: "Are you smarter than an 11-year-old?"
Sadly, many of them are not.

In family law, the paramount question weighed by the court is what is in the best interest of the child. In politics, the paramount question weighed by the legislature is what is in the best interest of the parent(s). Reason: Children don´t vote.

First assertion is wrong. My child did not have a mom. She had an egg donor. It wasn´t a god that made this possisble, it was a proficient fertility doctor.
Furthermore, if cloning were not illegal, even an egg donor would be superfluous.
Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy´s, did not need his biological mother and father. He was orphaned, but succeeded wildly. Somebody has fed this poor 11 year old some lies in order to use her in their politics.

#14 you are changing the subject, intentionally or otherwise. Adoption and infertility are not the issues here.
The issue, as always, is an assault on societal building blocks in a relentless quest to supplant them with state control. Statists don´t care about marriage any more than they care about batting averages in Japanese baseball - they simply want to eliminate any support system that might present an alternative or obstacle to their rule.
The most pathetic aspect of this is that despite claims of ´pride,´ gays are so desperate for acceptance and recognition that they truly believe that the statists endorse the simplistic ´two people in love´ narrative. They´re being used but don´t seem to care...which makes them selfish as well.

#14 she does have a biological mom even if you don´t know who that is. Without this woman you wouldn´t have your daughter. The egg you used wasn´t made out of thin air.
Furthermore, science is not on your side. Study after study shows that a biological mother and biological father have the best outcome for children. Again, all creation comes from God whom you should be thanking daily for the gift of your daughter.
As far as Dave Thomas is concerned, maybe the reason he was so widely successful is BECAUSE he was raised with a mother AND a father who loved him as their own. Straw man arguments are boring.

#14 sounds like another confused liberal. There is a God hon and he designed the world. It takes a female egg, we call that a biological Mother, and a male sperm, otherwise known as a Father, to make a baby. All the political correctness, science, and liberal bs in the universe cannot change that.

If we keep going down the road to genderless identity, soon neither parent will be required since the state will take possession of children the moment they are born.

While President Obama’s administration has suggested that the Secret Service is to blame for the closure of White House tours, the onus now falls on the Democrat-controlled Senate. On Wednesday, Democrats rejected a Republican attempt to reopen the White House tours in a straight party-line vote. 54 Democrats voted against reopening the tours. None have voted to defund President Obama’s golf trips. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Tom Coburn, required 60 votes to pass.

For much of the last four decades, the Alabama Education Association has risen to become one of the most powerful teachers’ unions in the country. As odd as it may seem in a dark red state, over the years long-time AEA executive director Paul Hubbert, oftentimes described as the “shadow governor” of Alabama, has earned his union the distinction of being one of the most politically involved organizations of its type in the country. Hubbert and the AEA won one of their first major battles in 1971

Specifically, the state party leaders have passed a resolution demanding that Sen. Richard Shelby “reconsider and reverse his decision to support Senator [Chuck] Hagel to be Secretary of Defense.” The resolution, passed early this afternoon, blasts Hagel for statements “favorable toward” countries “that we believe to be enemies of the United States of America,”

Not everyone will have to abide by Senator Dianne Feinstein´s gun control bill. If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials and others will be exempt. "Mrs. Feinstein´s measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel," the Washington Times reports. The Huffington Post confirms these exemptions, and adds that guns owned prior to the legislation becoming law will be permissible, too.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
